After thoughtful consideration, the Board of Directors for The Gasparilla Concours d’Elegance Inc. has come to a mutual agreement with Festivals of Speed to end our collaboration. Therefore the combined GCDE/FOS event scheduled for January 21, 2024, at St. Pete's Vinoy Park is cancelled.
GCDE is in discussion with alternative organizational support from other potential partners and will announce a new date and venue in the coming months.
We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience and stress this has caused to our loyal supporters, attendees, and particularly the generous Participants who have registered for the Gasparilla Concours d'Elegance. We will be sending you the commemorative challenge coin medallions, as a very small token of our appreciation for your support. We will certainly keep your application on file for the rescheduled Gasparilla Concours d'Elegance. All donations made will be refunded unless otherwise requested to be sent directly to the charity or remain on file until the new date is announced for GCDE 2024/2025.
Thank you again for your continued support. We look forward to producing the quality event that our past supporters have come to love and expect. Please don’t hesitate to contact me if you have any questions or concerns.

It's unfortunate to have to take a hiatus, but our commitment to excellence requires diligence and hard work to present a true Concours d'Elegance event. We are committed to exceeding your expectations because we know you have a choice where you spend your time and money. We respect the effort and expense our Participants take on when supporting the Gasparilla Concours d'Elegance.
You can count on GCDE to support IRS-recognized 501c3 charities, and that the proceeds are received by the beneficiaries. Over $70,000 in donations from the last 3 years of Gasparilla Concours d'Elegance events have benefitted children in need at Shriners Hospital for Children and Friedreich's Ataxia Research Alliance (FARA).
You can be assured that your generosity has reached those who need it the most, our dear children.
We bring you all the extravagance and elegance the festive season of Gasparilla offers with the most unique and interesting Concours in the country.
The name “Gasparilla” is synonymous with the Tampa Bay area’s most famous social season. Beginning in 1904 local Tampa residents have celebrated the friendly invasion of pirate José Gaspar (also known as Gasparilla), a famous pirate of folklore.
The Gasparilla Concours traditionally offers a 3 day weekend of live entertainment for the entire family, with our beautiful beaches, luxurious hotels, and world-class restaurants. The Tour d'Elegance is a real hit with the car folks.
We promise to return with an event worthy of our honored guests, the Participants, Attendees, and Pirate Royalty.
Be ready to Party like a Pirate when we return in 2024/2025.
